Recommended Blood Tests With Your Ultrasound Scan

At Miracle Inside Diagnostic Scan Clinic, we often recommend specific blood tests alongside your ultrasound. Scans give us real‑time pictures of your organs, but blood tests show how those organs are functioning. Together, they give a much fuller view of your health.

Abdominal Ultrasound + Liver & Kidney Function Panel

An upper abdominal ultrasound checks organs like the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and kidneys. A coordinated set of blood tests gives insight into how well those organs are working.

Recommended blood tests:

• Liver panel (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, Bilirubin): Assesses liver cell health and bile flow.
• Kidney panel (Creatinine, eGFR, Urea): Shows how efficiently the kidneys are filtering.
• Pancreatic enzyme (Amylase, Lipase): Useful if pancreatic changes or symptoms are present.

Why this matters:
Seeing a cyst or fatty change on ultrasound is helpful, but knowing whether liver or kidney function is normal or abnormal changes how we support your care.

Recommended Blood Tests With Your Ultrasound Scan

At Miracle Inside Diagnostic Scan Clinic, we often recommend specific blood tests alongside your ultrasound. Scans give us real‑time pictures of your organs, but blood tests show how those organs are functioning. Together, they give a much fuller view of your health. Below is a breakdown of common scan types and the blood tests that help make sense of what we see.

Renal & Bladder Ultrasound + Recommended Blood Tests

A renal and bladder ultrasound provides a detailed look at your kidneys, ureters, and bladder. While the scan shows structure—such as kidney size, stones, cysts, or bladder abnormalities—blood tests give insight into how well your kidneys are functioning. Together, they provide a complete picture of your urinary health.

Recommended Blood Tests:

1. Kidney Function Panel

• Creatinine: Measures kidney filtration efficiency.
• eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate): Indicates overall kidney function.
• Urea: Assesses the waste removal capability of the kidneys.
• Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate): Detects imbalances that can affect kidney and overall health.

2. Additional Tests (If Needed)

• Urine analysis: Detects infections, blood, protein, or other abnormalities.
• Cystatin C: Alternative kidney function marker for more precise assessment.

Why These Tests Matter

A renal ultrasound may reveal structural changes like:

• Kidney stones or blockages
• Cysts or masses
• Enlarged or shrunken kidneys
• Bladder wall abnormalities

However, imaging alone does not measure kidney performance. Blood tests confirm how effectively your kidneys are filtering waste, balancing electrolytes, and maintaining overall fluid balance. This combination helps identify potential kidney disease early, guides treatment, and monitors progress over time.

Thyroid Ultrasound Scan (Male & Female) – £120

Benefits of a Private Thyroid Ultrasound

A thyroid ultrasound is a safe, non‑invasive scan that examines the thyroid gland in the neck. It’s commonly used to investigate symptoms such as lumps, swelling, pain, or changes in voice and swallowing. It can also be part of ongoing monitoring if you have known thyroid nodules or goitre.

At Miracle Inside, we offer fast access, expert imaging, and clear explanations so you’re not left waiting for answers.

When you book with us, you’ll benefit from:

• Prompt appointments with minimal waiting
• Experienced, HCPC‑registered sonographers
• High‑resolution ultrasound for detailed imaging
• Clear explanations during your scan
• Same‑day written medical report sent securely to you and/or your GP
• A supportive, private clinic environment

Private scans are not free at the point of use, but they provide quicker reassurance and peace of mind when symptoms matter.

What the Thyroid Ultrasound Examines

The thyroid ultrasound looks at the structure of the thyroid gland, including:

• Thyroid size and shape
• Presence of nodules, cysts, or lumps
• Solid versus fluid‑filled areas
• Vascularity (blood flow patterns) if needed
• Surrounding neck structures, including lymph nodes

This scan does not involve radiation and is painless.

Why Might I Need a Thyroid Ultrasound?

You may be referred for or choose this scan if you have:

• A noticeable lump or swelling in the neck
• Changes in voice or difficulty swallowing
• Pain or tenderness in the neck area
• Abnormal thyroid function tests (e.g., TSH, T4, T3)
• A family history of thyroid disease
• Previously identified thyroid nodules needing follow‑up
• Monitoring of known thyroid enlargement (goitre)

Even if you don’t have symptoms, some people choose this scan for reassurance after abnormal blood tests or clinical findings.

Thyroid Ultrasound – Common Findings This Scan Can Detect

• Thyroid nodules
• Cysts and fluid‑filled areas
• Goitre or gland enlargement
• Structural asymmetry or suspicious areas
• Abnormal lymph nodes in the neck

If the scan shows any areas of concern, your sonographer will explain them clearly and outline the next steps.

Thyroid Ultrasound – FAQs

1. Does it hurt?
   No. A thyroid ultrasound is gentle and painless.
2. Do I need to prepare?
   No special preparation is required.
3. How long does it take?
   Usually 15–20 minutes.
4. Will I get results the same day?
   Yes. Your sonographer will explain the findings during your appointment, and you’ll receive a same‑day written report.
5. Can this scan pick up thyroid cancer?
   Ultrasound identifies suspicious features but does not diagnose cancer on its own. If something concerning is seen, your clinician may recommend further assessment, such as a fine‑needle aspiration biopsy or referral to a specialist.

Recommended Blood Tests With Your Ultrasound Scan

At Miracle Inside Diagnostic Scan Clinic, we often recommend specific blood tests alongside your ultrasound. Scans give us real‑time pictures of your organs, but blood tests show how those organs are functioning. Together, they give a much fuller view of your health.

Thyroid Ultrasound + Thyroid Function Tests

If you’re having a thyroid ultrasound — often for nodules, swelling, or an enlarged gland — a thyroid blood panel helps clarify what’s happening beneath the surface.

Recommended blood tests:

• TSH (Thyroid‑Stimulating Hormone): Shows how well your thyroid is being regulated by the pituitary.
• Free T4 and Free T3: Measure the active thyroid hormones in your blood.
• Thyroid antibodies (TPO, TG Ab): Useful if autoimmune thyroid disease (like Hashimoto’s or Graves’) is suspected.

Why this matters:
Ultrasound can show nodules or structural changes, but the blood tests tell us whether your thyroid is working normally, overactive, or underactive. That guides treatment decisions and follow‑up.

• Same-day written medical report sent securely to you and/or your GP
• A discreet, respectful clinic environment focused on your comfort

Private scans are not free at the point of use, but they provide quicker answers and peace of mind when timing matters.

What Does a Breast Ultrasound Assess?

A breast ultrasound uses sound waves to assess breast tissue in detail. It is particularly effective for:

• Distinguishing solid lumps from fluid-filled cysts
• Assessing areas of pain, thickening, or asymmetry
• Examining specific areas of concern identified by you or your clinician
• Evaluating breast changes in dense breast tissue
• Assessing breast implants and surrounding tissue for lumps, fluid, or changes
• May show signs of rupture or abnormal silicone distribution

The scan may also include assessment of the axillary (underarm) lymph nodes, where clinically appropriate.

Why Might I Need a Breast Ultrasound?

You may be referred for or choose a breast ultrasound if you have:

• A new or existing breast lump
• Breast pain or localised tenderness
• Changes in breast texture or thickness
• Nipple changes or discharge
• Swelling or inflammation in the breast or underarm
• A family history of breast conditions, and want reassurance
• A previous abnormal scan or examination requiring follow-up

Breast ultrasound is suitable for women and can be performed for anyone above 18 years old.

What Can This Scan Help Detect?

• Simple or complex breast cysts
• Solid breast lumps
• Fibroadenomas
• Localised inflammation or abscesses
• Changes in breast tissue structure
• Enlarged or abnormal lymph nodes

Please note: Ultrasound does not replace mammography in all cases. If findings suggest further assessment is needed, additional imaging such as mammography or biopsy may be recommended through appropriate clinical pathways.

Breast Ultrasound Scan – FAQs

• Is a breast ultrasound painful?
  No. The scan is gentle, non-invasive, and does not involve radiation.
• Do I need to prepare for the scan?
  No special preparation is required. You may be asked to remove clothing from the upper body for the examination.
• How long does the scan take?
  Usually 15–25 minutes, depending on the area being assessed.
• Will I receive results on the same day?
  Yes. Your sonographer will explain the findings during your appointment, followed by a same-day written report.
• Is this scan suitable if I have breast implants?
  Yes. Ultrasound can assess breast tissue and surrounding areas even in patients with implants.
• What if something concerning is found?
  If an area needs further investigation, we’ll clearly explain the findings and advise on appropriate next steps, including referral guidance.

Breast Ultrasound + Recommended Blood Tests

A breast ultrasound is a safe, non-invasive scan used to evaluate lumps, cysts, or other changes in breast tissue. While the scan provides a clear picture of structure, certain blood tests can complement the imaging by giving additional insight into risk factors, hormonal influences, or markers of disease. Combining ultrasound with targeted blood tests helps create a more complete picture of breast health.

Recommended Blood Tests

• Tumour Markers:
  • CA 15-3: Can help monitor known breast conditions or higher-risk cases.
  • CA 27-29: Sometimes used alongside CA 15-3 to assess breast tissue changes.
  • CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen): May be included for monitoring or follow-up in specific scenarios.
• Hormonal Profile (Optional):
  • Oestrogen and Progesterone: Hormone levels can influence breast tissue changes, particularly in pre-menopausal women or those with cyclical breast discomfort.
• General Health Markers (Optional):
  • Full Blood Count (FBC): Provides baseline information if a biopsy or further investigation is needed.
  • Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR): Useful if inflammation or infection is suspected.

Why These Tests Matter

Breast ultrasound can identify:

• Cysts or fluid-filled sacs
• Solid lumps or masses
• Changes in tissue density or structure
• Areas that may require further investigation

While imaging shows structural changes, blood tests provide information about underlying biological activity, hormone influences, or potential early indicators of disease. This combination ensures clinicians can make more informed decisions and recommend timely follow-up or preventive measures when needed.
